The author faced a challenging dependency issue with the apt package manager after an application upgrade, which hindered system updates. Despite prior Linux experience, conventional methods failed. Recalling Warp terminal's AI capabilities, the author allowed it to tackle the issue. The AI systematically addressed various problems, engaging in an iterative process of discovery and resolution. This highlighted both the capabilities of AI in troubleshooting and the author's own relief in sharing the struggle of resolving technical problems, ultimately showcasing the potential of modern Linux tools.
However, a few weeks ago, such a problem occurred. The issue was caused by an installed application upgrade that required a dependency that the apt package manager couldn't solve.
I ran the upgrade command, and the AI caught the issue. The next thing I know, Warp is asking me if I'd like Warp to try resolving the problem.
Watching it play out was fascinating. Warp would run the basic upgrade command and realize there was an issue. It would then use the AI functionality to research the issue.
Quite honestly, I was happy to see Warp struggle to fix the issue, because it made me feel a bit better about my failure.
